Bogus Bonds,

CHICAGO, August ga special to
the daily News from Buffalo, New
York, says: Somebody has forged the
bonds of the Leadville Consolidated
Mining company, purporting to be
worth $52 500, and the job is such a
good one that detection came from the
knowledge that no bonds OF $50 denom-
ination had been issued. w. G. Dick,
OF Toronto, got Charles Dobson, n re-
porter here, to negotiate the sale of the
bonds, and A. z. Wright e. Co., found
a buyer in New York at 40 cents.
When the bonds reached New York
the fraud was discovered. Wright &
Co., advanced 500 TO Dobson. Quota
tions on bonds has since gone up to 30
cents, and New York claims the differ
ence. The stock Is SAID to have origin
ally been issued to Isaac c. Radford
a rich Toronto real estate man. who
distinguished himself in February
1885, by disappearing under such cir
cumstances that it was believed he had
been murdered on Niagara river. An
effort is being made to find out who
first fioated the bogus securities.

II is an irreverent impulse Of the youthful

person is taken TO task by some one who has
a right 10 scold him. An instance Of this
nature comes from the English life school Of
the Royal Academy, which was devoted to
the study of the human figure from models.
Some one Of the Royal Academicians always
sat with the pupils the prescribed two hours,
rarely drawing oftener reading.
One night, Sir Edwin Landseer was visitor,
and rs he sat busily reading, very old gem

trumpet under hts arm, shufiled into the
school. This was John Landseer, the father
ofSir Edwin. Ills son, book In hand, rose
10 meet him.
.'You are not drawing hen; why don't
you draw p said the old gentleman In loud
voice.
Don't feel inclined" shouted the son
down the trumpet.

the little blue mouse were still talking and
Bertha was still fast asleep when there came
the sound Of sleigh bells and then the noise
ofsome one slipping down the chimney.
But instead of Santa Claus there came out

The forest-guards, both Of France and Ger
many, are sort OF half-miltary public
servants, Of description unknown In this
country, where the public forests have no
system Of protection. The European forest
guards are mostly old soldiers, who are likely

war. They do not take care Of the trees that
work is performed by the forester, who be-
